When I did my setup, the Windows program asked for a bunch of information, and then gave me the user name/password for the PPPoE connection. I know a bit about accessing the router or modem. In my case, then only provided a one port modem, and I added my own wireless router. I have the option of doing the PPPoE on the modem, on the router, or on the computer. Doing it on the modem or router are the most practical ways to do it. (But I can think of some applications where you would want to do it on the computer.) I have the modem set up to do it at home. I have several user names/password combinations that will work for the PPPoE now, though only one does not block outgoing port 25 connections.
